I’ve this problem with all recent versions of openSUSE including my now Leap 42.1 version. Install works fine. Everything works fine for a week or two. Then online update bombs out, cannot find any of the depositories. Message:
I checked my repositories. They are all there from my install except for having removed the disk repository, which I learned to delete as not required from posts here, and which caused some initial problems to access the repositories initially. deleting that meant I was able to access the online repositories after install (For about 2 weeks at least).
Need a permanent solution.

Are you having other network problems on the same computer? Can you access sites such as google or yahoo?
This might be a router problem. It might be an ISP problem.
I have heard of some people having IPv6 related issues. You could try disabling IPv6. Use Yast Network Settings, go to the “Global” tab and uncheck the box for enabling IPv6. Then reboot.
Disabling IPV6 didn’t help. Still the same symptoms.
I’ve had exactly the same symptoms with all recent versions of openSUSE. Culminating in Leap 42.1 It works for 2-4 weeks and then 100% fails to get any updates, with unable to reach the repositories. I’m sure if I reinstalled 42.1, it would work fine for 2-4 weeks,but would then fail again.
It’s strange you say I have duplicate repositories. I don’t see any duplicates using Yast.
Would the (Medium 1) give you any clues? I thought that was reserved for the DVD? But my memory might not be correct about that.
Wow. For the first time that I recall, YAST found most of the repositories except WINE and 1 other, on a mirror, not specified by me (I don’t know how to). Listed loads of updates. I accepted. But all failed to download, and I aborted the download (too many). I don’t ever recall seeing this before. But I wasn’t surprised. What the ??? is going on here.
Tried again to online update with YAST, and now it’s looking at the regular repositories again (not a mirror) and finding nothing
selecting a close mirror might be his problem
it’s not the 90’s even if he’s in I don’t know in NZ that’s one of the best opensuse mirrors online and a better choice then a local university mirror

I don’t really understand that. But though it meant that it didn’t reach download.opensuse.org. When I pinged download.opensuse.org, it returned the results for ftp (not http).
So I tried to change http to ftp in the repository urls. But it wouldn’t accept ftp. When I tried the online update again. I think i was going to a mirror, and it seemed to find all the updates. But as soon as the online update tried to actually download the files, they seemed to be pointing to http://download.opensuse.org (I think… I wasn’t really observing that closely) and couldn’t find any files.
I’m actually in Philippines. So I select a mirror from the list. But I still need instructions on how I get YAST to use that mirror for downloading the files.
One other comment. My browser finds download.opensuse.org without any problems at all. For me. That implies some kind of problem with YAST? When YAST cannot find the folder and reports
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Failed to connect to download.opensuse.org port 80: Network is unreachable
when aborting the checking of directories and before attempting to download any files.
I had some problems with repos too (in New Zealand). Go to http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ and select a mirror URL for each of your repos and try it in the browser. Then go to YAST - Repositories - Add and paste the URL into the appropriate field. Add the name (e.g. oss, non-oss) and click OK. Yast then tries to download the file with the packages. If this works use this as your repo - if not select another. It worked for me.
Cheers
Uli
